I always find it odd when people want to visit Billings. IMO all of the other larger cities in Montana overshadow it in terms of natural beauty and general appeal. Most everything west of Billings is awesome, Missoula and Bozeman being particularly notable. Cheyenne, WY is another place that people seem to want to visit, yet it is nothing like many people imagine it to be.
When I was a young man I saw this show on how Billings stood by its Jewish community when some Neo-Nazi group came to town. The Non-Jews started putting menorrahs in their houses as a show of solidarity. It was a nice story and left a lasting impression on me. You know things you see when you're younger sometimes stick with you. (Although I don't think I was that young)
Still Missoula and Bozeman sound great too, but I thought they might be more cliche. Also I didn't know how many smaller places I should name.

Spokane's one where I really was a kid when I heard of it. It was mentioned in some elementary school book I read and that stuck with me.
I personally can't imagine not wanting to visit someplace new and different. I don't care where it is.
There's bound to be some limits to that I'd think. I mean would you want to visit Mogadishu or Dzerzhinsk, Russia? (Dzerzhinsk isn't even historic, it was apparently founded in 1930)
Don't care to visit (though I've been there) San Fransisco
Chicago
Miami
Atlanta
Want to visit/have visited and loved it Oklahoma City
Detroit (ok, so I grew up in/around there, but still, I wouldn't hesitate to go back)
ALL of Louisiana
Oh, and if I may say, I have no desire to go ANYWHERE in Europe, EVER. Africa? Now that's a different story; I've lived there (in the slums) and loved it.
I have no desire to go to Los Angeles. Or any of the big western cities like Phoenix. I've been to Denver, wasn't impressed. Was kind of sad that it was so dirty and rundown in the midst of all that glorious geography.
I think I would like to see San Francisco,though, and my parents went to Portland, OR, and they loved it, so maybe there.
None of the flyover cities like St. Louis or Indianapolis seem to hold any charm, although I would like someday to go to the middle of the country and see what a field of wheat growing looks like.
MightyQueen judging by your post I'm assuming your from the east. You think Denver is rundown and dirty? I'd be interested in knowing what city in your opinion is not rundown?

I know right? East Coasters always bash the west coast except San Francisco This poster claims Denver is dirty and rundown but wants to visit SF? SF has bums everywhere and the streets smell of urine and poop, so I don't see this posters logic at all.
Chicago- Flagstaff, Az.
Portland, Or.- NYC
Seattle
Spokane
Burlington,Vt.
Humboldt County, Ca.
Never Want To See Again;
Miami
